Stickers and Paint on Canvas

Stickers and paint on canvas is equiavalent to precision-cut metal, right?  No?



I love this-- use ANY canvas, apply stickers, decal, etc., and spray paint. Remove Decals; hang white lights behind it.


DIY Lighting...use tall canvas, apply stickers, decal, etc., and spray paint. Remove Decals; hang white lights behind it. >> Fun idea, love the possibilities!


Sadly, the art in these pictures is not the result of stickers, decals, or stencils.  These lovely lighted sculptures are made of cut metal.  If you look closely, you can see how the surface of the flowers is raised, rather than just a flat canvas.  Also, you can see gradients and shading that are the result of the 3D metal pieces from the cuts, and which are not achievable through the 2D application and removal of stickers.

Someone did attempt the sticker/spraypaint/peel method, though, and while the results are not the same as the metal installations above, I think it came out really nicely.  Check out the upper left and lower right below:
